Okay, don't always believe our collective chorus. We always maintain how great it is not to have to shovel snow out here. What we sometimes forget to mention is that we sort of pay for the avoidance by putting up with non-stop rain for five months in a row. There are weeks on end when sunshine is only a distant memory.
A strange thing occurred to me today though. I found myself really enjoying my drive into BCIT. It was nice to have the windshield wipers working hard to give me a clearer view of the soggy environment on the other side of the glass. I really felt as if today's weather was how things were supposed to be. I really didn't mind that it had been raining for the entire week.
Oh, my God! This is my twelfth winter here and I guess I must qualify as a bona fide native of British Columbia now.
